In April of 2010 Seattle Public Utilities will be launching a rebate program called RAINWISE for customers who install raingardens and cisterns in select neighborhoods around Seattle. S&L is certified in the installation of raingardens, has extensive knowledge in stormwater management and cisterns, and can assist you in getting your rebate. See our ad in the Ballard News Tribune online and the local "GreenBook".

If you are interested in having your raingarden registered (not affiliated with the rebate program through Seattle Public Utilities Rainwise program) please peruse the Puget Sound Rain Gardens site for more information.

United Nations Brundtland Report defines sustainable as: design, construction, operations and maintenance practices that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

At S&L we will work with you to ensure the integrity of the natural landscape of your property while enhancing the beauty of your home.

We've had several clients ask about child/pet friendly garden areas. These do not have to be specific vegetable gardens that require harvesting and maintenance. The placing of edible and/or non-toxic plants and trees around your home can give you invaluable peace of mind if you have young children and animals on the property.

The direction and area of the property in which certain types of plants are placed often have meaning for our clients, we offer assistance in this area with the help of a highly trained feng shui artist.

We do patios, walkways, pavers and paths in a variety of stones and styles.
